THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That...was awesome. Mikado getting beat up had it coming to him. Meanwhile, I really like how Celty is playing the role model in the finale. Really glad to see her helping out Shirna as well. So yeah, the show is over, going to miss DRRR! a lot. Quite happy to see that it got 3 cour though. 8/10. Enjoyed this season just as much as the others. And also quite pleased to see Varona being relevant even in the finale :3 |

OnoD's character vs. HiroC's character interrupted by assassin girl and the people inside the sushi shop who are able to come ou. Celty stopped the situation. Celty said the city being messy is because of herself so she's leaving. FukuJun's character arrived and tried to stop her. OnoD's character also came and he helped him go up. Oh, it's not because Saika power is gone, but he made it his own. He cut her head off. Back to usual life. Everyone's on the journey, too. Assassin girl and OnoD's character became a good fighting rival. That guy that was the main cause of the people getting controlled by Saika getting "abused" ... The main guy went unconscious after the attack, but was able to wake up and saw his friends first thing he woke up. |

Ahhh that was such a good finale. My only nitpick is that the Shizuo and Izaya "Do it, monster" scene felt lacking without Izaya's monologue about him winning even in death but maybe that's just me. Glad to see Vorona sticking up for her senpai and showing off chara development. Celty pretending to forget her memories and Shinra immediately knowing the truth. They're so cute? If Shinra had died, I think Celty would leave so thank goodness he didn't. Anri's right about Celty helping out so many people. Mikado final scene in the hospital after protecting Anri. He's finally back home with them~ This isn't the ending they deserved but I'm just glad they got back together in the end. I'm gonna miss Durarara so much, it was one of my first animes. Gonna miss all the fun and drama from this show... |

I hate Nasujima being with Haruna, I hate Haruna herself, and I want him to spear Haruna in the fucking chest. That's what I'll very briefly say about how dissatisfactied that shit leaves me. I'm now going to rewatch all the episodes he's in, cry in a corner, a delude myself into thinking that disgusting choice of end is not canon. I will think he escaped. That will satisfy me. I will write an alternate end. Like overall even if that was in the original novel, it was a shitty choice of end. I was not expecting him to win by any stretch of the imagination, but for such a torturous end for no viable reason, even if he is implied to be a rapist, psychopath, need I go on? It's wretched. It's wretched, it's lazy, and there would've been such better excitement from him stabbing the fuck out of that cliched yandere stereotype!! For the overall adaptation distillation of this show, flubbed animation, constantly making Nasujima keep that fake beard on, other errors, and that ending goddamn existing at all, I have now docked my sweet score to from what was initially an 8, then a 7, down to a 6. I would say this is somewhat of what I like to call a "letdown". At least Izaya got his just desserts, that's about the only happy part of that ending I can get behind, minus "awww, look everyone loves each other" ooey gooey mess. That still don't cancel out Nasujima's bad fate. That don't impress me much. At all. There's a bitch I want to see at the bottom of a river right now. I want to throw Haruna to the bottom of the damn deepest river. |

Great ending. Although I would've liked to see more of Shizuo vs. Izaya along with Varona, the other parts of the episode were nice. I was also glad to hear The Sought-after Extraordinary again after all what's happened (so nostalgic). And lol at Celty getting chased by Kuzuhara once again. 8/10 |

i'm glad that celty and shinra reunited, these two just belong together. :> even if shinra acted really selfishly. overall a good episode, can't believe x2 is now finally over. ;_; |

Ahh Izaya, i was hoping for a better ending for you, but at least you are alive. So a happy ending, i was expecting Mikado to die, he is stabbed and shooted, but it didn't happen too. Good ending, better series than the others 2. Let see if Durarara!! SH gets a anime anytime. |

So, here it ends. It has been a satisfying ending. Every plot point has been resolved for good and the characters have a fitting ended. I was scared Mikado would die when Nasujima stabs him, but I was so glad when he turned to be alive. I would never expect to actually care for Mikado, seriously. Well, so Durarara ends for good. It was a fun ride and one of the animes I enjoyed the more, but everything in this life has to end, so... 8/10 and AOTS. |

I'm weirdly satisfied with how this all ended. I sincerely thought Mikado was gonna die or Celty was gonna leave, and it would've added more drama imo. Shizuo finally gave Izaya that long awaited ass whooping (That's my man <3) Only nitpick about it is that it could've been longer If they ever adapt the SH novels, I'll watch it, but for now I appreciate the main novels coming to an end 7/10 |

ah, it ended :( i will miss shizuo and celty it would have been interesting if celty actually left ikebukuro, it would have been so bittersweet :< seiji is so crazy, is he actually going to chicago only because celtys head is there? and mika goes with him, oh, those two... |

"A boy who yearned for the extraordinary, and the twisted love story that swallowed up too many people, finally draws to the end of their performance!" Goodbye Durarara!!, you'll be missed dearly. Definitely one of my favorite anime ever, and I doubt I'll find anything like it ever again. Hoping that the sequel LN series will be adapted as an anime someday. Was really shocked when Mikado got stabbed at the end, wasn't sure if he was going to live. Izaya Vs. Shizuo was the only disappointment in the end, I heard its much better in the light novel because you can see inside Izaya's head and get a better glimpse at his reasoning. At least Shizuo didn't kill him and become a monster like he wanted. Also interesting that Izaya's fate is left up in the air. Would anyone like to PM spoilers to me about the sequel LN series? Does Izaya live or die? The ending with Mikado, Kida, and Anri gave me a lot of feels. 2010-2016, it was a good run. |

What an absolute cop-out of an ending this is. You'd have though that everything that has happened would cause SOMETHING in the relationships of the cast to change, but no. Nothing's really changed all that much, and no one even suffers the consequences of their actions. Mikado should have died with all that blood he lost from those injuries and because of everything he has done, but of course we couldn't have the unnatural and forced happy ending if that was the case. Oh, and that prick Izaya is still alive for some reason, which is probably the biggest disappointment of all. Still, this series has definitely been the best part of the x2 cours. 8/10 |

Good ending. I'm going to miss Durarara especially Shizuo. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

Shinra, you sneaky bastard, removing her head from her body like that. Other than that, I'm satisfied with the ending. I'm upset that it's ending, but it was a good ride. Finally Izaya can get what he deserves and die, but I'm even happier with Nasujima's torture. Hehe, glad everyone got what they deserved. Well actually the torture does seem a bit extreme, but hey, I hate the guy. |

all well ends well. That fight between Izaya and Shizuo made me wonder who the real monster is. The best thing is that Celty and Shinra are still together. Will there be another season? |

I hope Takashi is a hardcore M, dude is going to be in a lot of pain. Sad to see Durarara end, but it was an awesome conclusion in my book. Nice to see more of Shizuo and Vorona as well, can't help but ship that. Hopefully SH eventually gets an adaptation, but you can't be too optimistic about sequels in the anime industry. |

I cant believe it is finally over. Im so sad to see it go. Ive loved this anime so much and ive been with it for so long. This anime just got better and better every week. This final episode was great. Celty calms everything down. Takashi gets hit back and tortured. The trio is back together. Izaya may live or die but he getting tf out of the city. Shizuo and Varona have a nice moment. Kujiragi saves Ruri and i love how the otaku gangsters describe how it happened. The celty x Shinra moment was beautiful. Ive had so much fun with this anime and im gonna miss it. I hope SH gets an adaptation. |
Grimgar season 2 please!!!! |

He was scum, and he deserved a scum like fate. You haven't heard me harping before about him on these forums? I've been on almost every ep discussion. I've liked Nasujima since I watched the original series nearly five years ago. I don't control what I'm drawn to and what I'm not. I like bad characters with potentially psycho traits and potentially depressing backstories. I like sadistic crazies, okay? I'm not some kind of pedestal morally nor do I claim to be. I've been fascinated with the psyche of criminals and deviants for awhile, i watched crime shows frequently as a kid. sanity, well, let's not delve into that. yes I have problems, I've had problems galore with myself mentally, but believe it or not, my fondness for this scum actually helped me heal mentally when I was troubled. Maybe that's a little messed up, maybe I'm a little messed up, but no one is so mentally upstanding that they can't deny they've had some kind of problem. You don't really need to further highlight the fact that I was born with a warped brain, I'm aware of that and have been aware of it for like ten fucking years. It's not like I don't acknowledge that he's scum, I don't deny that at all, but I'd prefer the fate was dealt in a manner that didn't involve a character I abhor so much. I really hate Haruna. She's an irritatingly typical bore of a yandere who mainly developed into a yandere on account of how Nasujima was implied to have abused her, and yet people still have the audacity to say he didn't do anything relevant to the plot at all? You think I really have no sense of moral as to be able to not tell he's scum? Nobody gets chastised for liking Izaya in that way even though he's also scum. Why?! Because Izaya's fucking popular. But I guarantee if any character as scummy as Izaya were given the development that he was, people would be flocking to that character the way they would Izaya normally. Anyway, the novel, although I abhor the ending and lacking development there as well, gives him more detail as far as character goes, and some explanation, all of which was completely paved over in the anime adaptation, although that's far from the only thing they goofed. I have no patience for the way this adaptation has handled some things, even the Shizuo Izaya fight was underwhelming, and that's coming from someone who doesn't particularly love Shizuo or Izaya. That's why I kept downgrading my rating. The point is, there is more to scummy scum than meets the eye despite how much people love to bash him, and there's no reason and no way to prohibit me from hating the ending. If I went into further elaboration as to why I liked Nasujima precisely I would be writing another paragraph. I get sick of having to constantly explain myself, I wish people would accept me for what I like and who I am, not basing it off entirely a heightened sense of moral. What is so wrong about wanting to delve into some dark, dank evil every once in awhile instead of embracing perfection or happiness? What's so wrong with that? I've been through a lot of shit, if I want to wallow in my love for some scummy character, let me. I'm not hurting anyone. |

I've been through a lot of shit, if I want to wallow in my love for some scummy character, let me. I'm not hurting anyone. I actually checked out your profile and see your obsession with Nasujima. I don't care who you like, but I will question you on it when your entire opinion on the series revolves around one single minor character with no redeeming qualities and has an entire list of evil unforgivable deeds, as anyone would. You're on a public forum participating in an episode discussion online, people seeing your comments on the last episode are going to question shit you say. |

Dazardz said: Well after Nasujima repeatedly stabbed Mikado... I really don't think there is that much of a problem with his ending. Exactly. He literally tried to murder a group of kids at the end. That's not even taking into account his last plan to take over the entire city with the Saika and his previous evil deeds. Fuck it was even revealed he was the one that ran over Kadota. He deserved to suffer. |

Beautiful end of the series: I loved; especially that all the "good guys" had a happy ending. Including those very secondary. On the other hand he did not die Izaya hate whoever he was her murderer. It seems that everything will return to normal in Ikebukuro. Final Score 8/10 |

It was a good ending to a very long and complex series. All is right in Ikebukuro. Still a bigger fan of S1 over the three chapters of S2. I'm glad to have watched this and sad to see this cast go. |

I like Izaya as well but he deserved the ending he got. Are those people crazy? They aren't Therefore Dizzyur is not crazy either If she puts her opinion out on a discussion board, people have the right to call her out for her opinion. Absolutely, and that also means I have the right to shit on you for using ad hominem and for having an opinion I disagree with |

Aiko_Hiroshi said: dizzyur said: Aiko_Hiroshi said: dizzyur said: I hate Nasujima being with Haruna, I hate Haruna herself, and I want him to spear Haruna in the fucking chest. That's what I'll very briefly say about how dissatisfactied that shit leaves me. I'm now going to rewatch all the episodes he's in, cry in a corner, a delude myself into thinking that disgusting choice of end is not canon. I will think he escaped. That will satisfy me. I will write an alternate end. Like overall even if that was in the original novel, it was a shitty choice of end. I was not expecting him to win by any stretch of the imagination, but for such a torturous end for no viable reason, even if he is implied to be a rapist, psychopath, need I go on? It's wretched. It's wretched, it's lazy, and there would've been such better excitement from him stabbing the fuck out of that cliched yandere stereotype!! For the overall adaptation distillation of this show, flubbed animation, constantly making Nasujima keep that fake beard on, other errors, and that ending goddamn existing at all, I have now docked my sweet score to from what was initially an 8, then a 7, down to a 6. I would say this is somewhat of what I like to call a "letdown". At least Izaya got his just desserts, that's about the only happy part of that ending I can get behind, minus "awww, look everyone loves each other" ooey gooey mess. That still don't cancel out Nasujima's bad fate. That don't impress me much. At all. There's a bitch I want to see at the bottom of a river right now. I want to throw Haruna to the bottom of the damn deepest river. I almost believed you were trolling for a moment, but the fact you actually like Nasujima makes me question your sanity. He was scum, and he deserved a scum like fate. You haven't heard me harping before about him on these forums? I've been on almost every ep discussion. I've liked Nasujima since I watched the original series nearly five years ago. I don't control what I'm drawn to and what I'm not. I like bad characters with potentially psycho traits and potentially depressing backstories. sanity, well, let's not delve into that. yes I have problems, I've had problems galore with myself mentally, but believe it or not, my fondness for this scum actually helped me heal mentally when I was troubled. It's not like I don't acknowledge that he's scum, I don't deny that at all, but I'd prefer the fate was dealt in a manner that didn't involve a character I abhor so much. I really hate Haruna. She's an irritatingly typical bore of a yandere who mainly developed into a yandere on account of how Nasujima was implied to have abused her, and yet people still have the audacity to say he didn't do anything relevant to the plot at all? You think I really have no sense of moral as to be able to not tell he's scum? Nobody gets chastised for liking Izaya in that way even though he's also scum. Why?! Because Izaya's fucking popular. But I guarantee if any character as scummy as Izaya were given the development that he was, people would be flocking to that character the way they would Izaya normally. Anyway, the novel, although I abhor the ending and lacking development there as well, gives him more detail as far as character goes, and some explanation, all of which was completely paved over in the anime adaptation, although that's far from the only thing they goofed. I have no patience for the way this adaptation has handled some things, even the Shizuo Izaya fight was underwhelming, and that's coming from someone who doesn't particularly love Shizuo or Izaya. That's why I kept downgrading my rating. The point is, there is more to scummy scum than meets the eye despite how much people love to bash him, and there's no reason and no way to prohibit me from hating the ending. If I went into further elaboration as to why I liked Nasujima precisely I would be writing another paragraph. I get sick of having to constantly explain myself, I wish people would accept me for what I like and who I am, not basing it off entirely a heightened sense of moral. What is so wrong about wanting to delve into some dark, dank evil every once in awhile instead of embracing perfection or happiness? What's so wrong with that? I've been through a lot of shit, if I want to wallow in my love for some scummy character, let me. I'm not hurting anyone. I actually checked out your profile and see your obsession with Nasujima. I don't care who you like, but I will question you on it when you're putting your entire opinion revolving around the entire damn series towards one single minor character with no redeeming qualities, then be prepared to have people question you. You're on a public forum participating in an episode discussion online, people seeing your comments on the last episode are going to question shit you say. Hoooooo boy boy boy "no redeeming qualities" eeeek buddy that hurts So you combed my profile without reading the thousand explanations I provided links to? Well, there's your main problem, but then again, if you do take the time to actually look at them, then you'll probably just think me crazier. Like i said, I don't need anymore reassurance that I had problems, but you can just keep rubbing that fact in my face if it makes you feel better. Anyway, Izaya deserved worse than he did. Nasu just reappeared and was spared any fucking explanation (which was vague in the novels but less shitty than the anime's portrayal of it all, in other words, the explanation was nonexistent), but Izaya has been there throughout the entirety of the series starting fires and getting no punishment for it. Just because to a lot of people Nasu's form of deviancy somehow makes him qualified for a worse fate than Izaya, doesn't discount the fact that the quantity of what Izaya's done is at least on par with that. Needless to say there's no telling how many the sicko has raped but when stacked against Izaya… well, okay, I would've preferred Izaya die or end up in a torture dungeon instead. That would delight me. Going back to my score..... maybe I wasn't clear enough, that the ending wasn't the main thing to make my score drop As I've said a billion times before on the other episode discussions, I didn't like how rapidly things went by in the anime compared to the LN and how many details were omitted. That's my main gripe. I feel like twelve episodes for this final cour was too little to squeeze all the novel's explanation, and my assumptions were proven correctly. That's mainly why my score dwindled. Having high hopes that they'd show more faithfulness to the source material, I was disappointed with the outcome, it felt rushed. It's not like the fate of Nasujima was the deciding factor for me to dock my score again, it was already sitting at a 6.5-7 by episode 11 regardless of the ending I knew was coming and the fate I knew was going to piss me off. I rounded it down to a 6 when I decided to take into consideration how shoddy the animation was at times. I may bring it back up to a 7 later if I'm feeling nice. |

@Comic_Sans If you agree with her rant towards the series and her obsession towards Nisujima somehow being the best character and not deserving the fate he got, then I'll question your sanity too. Izaya might be scum (He at least had some redeeming qualities, like his friendship with Shinra), but the crimes he committed don't even compare to Nisujima, and he still got his just desserts in the end. They both deserve their fates. You're both in the minority and it seems like you can't accept people calling out blind hate. |

I thought it was kind of funny to see Izaya all fucked up like that lol. Celty, not surprisingly, had her memories all along, and it's a good thing Shinra realized that. It just sucks that Celty has spent all this time trying to get her head back and once she finally got it.....she loses it again lol. I'm also not surprised Mikado didn't successfully kill himself. I'm pretty certain the author wasn't seriously going to do that. I have no problems with the ending that Nasujima got since he tried to murder a group of teens, he deserves whatever shit is coming to him. It was really nice to see Mikado, Masaomi, and Anri together again in that hospital room as well. Well, it was definitely a crazy ass ride but it's all over now. Gonna miss this series, 7/10. |

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |

Good finale. The CeltyxShinra stuff were really fun. Esp the monologue exposing/tsundere translating Shinra did lol Sux that Varona is leaving for now :( She was cute during the farewell scene Shizuo throwing Shinra was monstrous as usual What's the logic behind Rocchi being the only one not tied up by Celty tho? Too fabulous? I actually kinda feel bad for Takeshi lol, he's an ass but he's in for lots of suffering. Shinra's dad and Namie's scene was lol too And Izaya is out of town. Seeing Aoba pissed was fun :P 8.5/10 for me, Probably my fav season of all Drrr |
